Our store has been cloned by a scam artist. Meaning it has been copied in its entirety and reproduced elsewhere. It is down now thanks to the quick action by the registrar and vigilance of the BDH. Unfortunately, in the age of AI it is very easy to copy sites. This will happen again. The

Housekeeping, Plushies, Games, Etc
Mod R has faithfully gathered your questions for the upcoming zoom, and I am going to ask you to rethink some of them. You're asking things like who is the author, who Maggie ends up, and so on. Those are the questions that will be answered in the future books. We cannot spoiler the story for

Signings, Yarn, and Other Gifts
Thank you so much to everyone who had come to see us at the signing. You guys are absolute best. If you read my tour summary, you probably know by now that book tours tend to be grueling. Meeting you is the only reason we actually go on tour. It's not the sales - sorry, bookstores, and it's not the

This Kingdom’s Cast of Characters
By popular demand - I wonder if other authors get so many demands, heh - here is the Cast of Characters. This is a basic version. You will have to wait until Maggie's site, the app, or the Companion to Kair Toren, for the images version. This thing is hyperlinked and should be spoiler free. Not

The Tour and the Lists
The tour began on March 31 at BN in Arboretum at 5:00 pm. We came in a little early, were led to the back room, and shortly after they brought us out. We follow the nice bookseller to the signing space and see 200 people. And they all go, "Yay!" except that there is 200 of them and it sounds more

UK Cover Correction
Okay, so I screwed up. When UK sent the packet listing the editions, the wording was slightly confusing. This is the regular UK hardcover. This is the International HB hardcover. It is my fault. I did not confirm. The pack of promotional materials made it seem like this was the regular

Art Reveal: Lord Doran Arvel
The tour of Kair Toren continues. Today we bring you a portrait of Doran Arvel, the head of the Arvel household and current Lord Commander of the Defender Order. Ahem. Let us brace ourselves. This one is amazing. All of Helena's work is amazing, but this one is really amazing. Of all the

Blankets and Life
I'm very tired of being Ilona Andrews, so today will be a no promo day. A while ago I started making crocheted plushies and bought a lot of yarn. In my defense, it was cheap and very soft. The plush making phase has now passed, so I was left with a large amount of yarn. The yarn that was very,

25 Minutes
That's how much time I have for the blog post today. I have a fancy and semi-intelligent post in drafts about Fantasy genres and it need more braining than I have at the moment. So this is a rambling salad of randomness instead. On Monday we got a massive attack of Chinese IPs and the site has
